Hi. This is kind of a failed five layer chocolate cake.

The original recipe would be this one: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DZXhDFtsshU/

I then decided to, between each layer, add the following cakes (without the cheesecake / mousse part):

• https://scientificallysweet.com/brownie-chocolate-basque-cheesecake/ (brownie batter, bottom)
• https://bakewithzoha.com/chocolate-mousse-cake/ (sponge, top)

I baked them separately and then added them between layers.

I don't know if the measurements in the video are wrong or I've done something different but:

• The cookies were not enough to reach the top, should've probably added more (might be because they're different cookies).
• The white and milk chocolate don't seem to solidify as much as in the video, might be because I've added a cake layer in between and the weight is too much for them, but in the video they seem like they could hold some weight. Could also have to do with the chocolate used.
• My dark chocolate ganache is not anywhere as liquid as the one in the video, and from the others I've done with around the same measurements, they never were, so I'm not sure if the measurements there are correct or if it has to do with the %, I've used 60-70% in all the dark chocolate ganaches I've made.

Regarding the other batters (brownie and sponge):

• I've overbaked the brownie batter and it burnt quite a bit, I left it for 20 minutes because I didn't think it through, as the recipe is for a whole cheesecake and therefore won't require anywhere near as much time (nor temperature) to cook it. It became quite dense / hard and had to remove quite a bit of it.
• I've probably overmixed the sponge cake batter? It became denser than I thought it would, I tried not overmixing but I think this sponge cake was softer the other time I've made it.

So overall it's a bit of a failure, but that's part of it.

Here is a cake I made for the 4th of July. 🇺🇸

Made this recipe for the first time today. It was for my MIL husband's birthday (yesterday but celebrated today).

This is a straightforward cake with a rich classic chocolate butter cream. The cake texture was moist and not too airy/light. The buttercream was good but definitely improved by taste and texture of the cake itself. I found the inclusion of boiling water unusual and felt it likely contributed to the mositness of the cake. The ingredients list has some wiggle room but for my cake I measured by weight and used buttermilk and canola oil where applicable. For the buttercream I used heavy whipping cream and salted butter.

Sorry for no cross section.

SO I WANNA MAKE THIS PIANO CAKE BUT LIKE I AM JUST CONFUSED HOW TO GO ABOUT WITH THE BAKING PART TO GET THESE PIANO KEYS DESIGN

I SEARCHED FOR IT BUT ALL I GET IS PIANO THEMED "DECORATED" CAKES INSTEAD OF THE PIANO THEME EMBEDDED IN IT'S BREAD LMAO

SO PLEASE GIVE ME TIPS ON HOW I CAN BAKE IT TO ACHIEVE THIS PATTERN

I'M LEARNING TO BAKE SO I AM INDEED NEW TO THIS FIELD OF EXPERTISE AND BEAR WITH THIS POST EVEN IF IT SOUNDS DUMB

ALL TYPES OF TIPS, HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT APPRECIATED. DON'T BE MEAN :)

My sister is getting married in Copenhagen on Wednesday. We are German and my sister is getting married to an American. I won’t be able to attend the wedding, so we have a little family get together today. It will be a courthouse ceremony and she will have a bigger party in the future, but I wanted to do something special for her. I like baking but I haven’t had the time to bake over the past few years and the only things I have baked in the past were “Coffee Cakes” (one layer, no frosting, like Banana Bread). So this is honestly my first attempt at buttercream, tiered cakes and piping. I watched so many tutorials over the past few days and I am thrilled with the result and want to share my joy! It took me 5 hours to decorate but it was so worth it.🥹

It’s a vanilla cake with peach and “Quark”-filling (I don’t think there is something similar in in the US). I also added a passion fruit lime jelly. I made an ermine coconut buttercream to cover and pipe the details. I picked random flowers from our garden to decorate.

I made a great looking hotdog cake that ended up in my first caketastrophe. I've never dropped a cake or had a fumble before. Cake was lemon, raspberry filling and a cream cheese buttercream frosting. Cupcakes with red velvet with the same cream cheese buttercream frosting. I remade a new cake without the hotdogs the day after the birthday party so we could eat some😂😅
